Triple-A Scranton (5-0 win over Syracuse) one day after beating up Nationals RHP Lucas Giolito, they worked over Nationals RHP Reynaldo Lopez (6 IP, 5 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 6 K), another one of the top pitching prospects in baseball
- DH Ben Gamel: 0-3, 1 R, 1 BB
- RF Clint Frazier: 1-4, 1 R, 1 K
- LF Aaron Judge: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 1 K — Shane Hennigan has video of the grand slam he hit off Lopez … Hennigan says Judge made a great leaping catch in left too
- C Kyle Higashioka: 0-4, 2 K, 1 PB
- 1B Chris Parmelee: 1-2, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI — played five innings in his first rehab game in the field
- CF Jake Cave: 1-3, 1 2B
- LHP Jordan Montgomery: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 7/3 GB/FB — 63 of 97 pitches were strikes (65%) … he’s not going to be an ace or anything, but Montgomery definitely has a chance to help the Yankees in some capacity, maybe as a lefty David Phelps type
- LHP Phil Coke: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 2 HB, 0/2 GB/FB — 20 of 35 pitches were strikes (57%)
- RHP Ben Heller: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 2/0 GB/FB — eight pitches, six strikes … 52/13 K/BB in 45 total innings this season
Double-A Trenton (7-2 win over Harrisburg)
- SS Tyler Wade: 3-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB — got picked off first … he’s having such an impressive season for a 21-year-old in the Eastern League … the OPS won’t be sexy because he doesn’t hit for power, but that’s not his game … he’s a contact/OBP/defense guy
- RF Dustin Fowler: 2-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI — having a great finish to the season
- LF Billy McKinney: 1-5, 1 2B, 1 K
- 3B Miguel Andujar: 0-4, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 E (fielding)
- 2B Abi Avelino: 2-4, 2 R, 1 K
- 1B Dante Bichette Jr.
